EL640.480-AF1 VGA Operations Manual (020-0349-00A)2
EL640.480-AF1 VGA Display
This manual describes the Planar ICEBrite EL640.480-AF1 display. This 6.4"diagonal VGA product offers designers an affordable and easily implementedpath to dramatic visual improvements over passive LCDs.
Utilizing Planars proprietary ICEBrite (Integrated Contrast and BrightnessEnhancement) technology, this display excels in ambient light environmentsranging from dark to nearly sunlight-bright. This technology achieves veryhigh contrast and exceptionally clear images. This display utilizes a common 8-bit FPD-type interface compatible with most LCD video controller chips,making it easy to integrate and to replace existing LCD displays.
Through simple design and advanced manufacturing technologies, Planarsnew VGA display family brings the visual performance and image quality of ELinto cost-sensitive applications that have up to now been limited by theperformance of LCD displays.
Features and Be nef i ts Excellent visual performance:
High brightness and contrastWide viewing angle
Significant reduction in cost over previous EL technology
Reliable, long operating life
Extremely rugged and durable
Low EMI emissions
Rapid display response Low power design
OptionsAnti-glare and conformal coating options are available on this display.
The anti-glare option adds an anti-glare film to the front of the display toreduce specular reflections (see Application Note 135 for more information).
The conformal coating option adds a protective layer to the display forapplications in which the display may be subjected to high humidity, dust, or
salt mist (see Application Note 122 for more information).

Installation and Handling
The mechanical package consists of the display panel and electronic circuitboard adhesively bonded together and mounted in a plastic bezel. The bezelsupplies the mounting ears and protects otherwise exposed leads. The displayis made of glass material and must be handled with care.
C A U TI O N : The display uses CMOS and power MOSFET devices. Thesecomponents are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine thisassembly in a static-controlled area only. When shipping, use packingmaterials designed for protection of electrostatic-sensitive components.
Do not drop, bend or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surfaceof the display
M o u n t i n gThe AF1 display was designed to facilitate the mounting of optical treatmentsand touch screens on the viewing side of the display. To this end, the glass
extends in front of the mounting bezel by approximately 0.5 mm (0.02") It isimperative that any mounting scheme apply uniform pressure across the glassat all times. Pressure applied only to the corners or edge of the glass is likely tocause breakage.
Mounting should be done using the mounting ears only. Use either metric M3screws tightened to 350 Ncm maximum, or unified #4 screws tightened to 4.7in/lb maximum.
C A U TI O N : Properly mounted, this display can withstand high shock loadsand severe vibration in aggressive environments. However, the glass panelused in this display will break when subjected to bending stresses, high
impact, or excessive loads.To prevent injury in the event of glass breakage, a protective overlay shouldbe used on the viewer side of the display.
W A R N I N G : These products generate voltages capable of causing personalinjury (high voltage up to 230 Vac ). Do not touch the display electronicsduring operation.

CleaningAs with any glass or coated surface, care should be taken to minimizescratching. Clean the display glass with mild, water-based detergents only.Apply the cleaner sparingly to a soft cloth, then wipe the display. Disposablecleaning cloths are recommended to minimize the risk of inadvertentlyscratching the display with particles embedded in a re-used cloth.
The TAB (tape-automated bonding) leads between the electronics and thedisplay glass are very sensitive to handling. When cleaning the edges of thedisplay glass, special care should be taken not to damage the leads.
Cable LengthDo not exceed the maximum cable length of 600 mm (24 in.). Longer cablesmay cause data transfer problems between the data transmitted and thedisplay input connector. Excessive cable lengths can pick up unwanted EMI.There are third party products which allow this maximum cable length to beexceeded. Contact Planar Application Engineering for more information.
Avoiding Bu rn- InAs with other light emitting displays, displaying fixed patterns on the screencan cause burn-in, where luminance variations can be noticed. Use a screensaver or image inversion to avoid causing burn-in on the display.

Specifications
Control Bas icsThe EL panel is a matrix structure with column and row electrodes arranged inan X-Y formation. Light is emitted when an AC voltage of sufficient amplitudeis applied at a row-column intersection. The display operation is based on thesymmetric, line at a time data addressing scheme. Required operating voltagesare provided by an integrated DC/DC converter.
Unless otherwise specified, performance characteristics are guaranteed whenmeasured at 25C.
P o w e rThe supply voltages are shown in Table 1. All internal high voltages aregenerated from the display supply voltage (VH). The logic supply voltage (VL)should be present whenever video input signals or VH is applied. Theminimum and maximum specifications in this manual should be met, without
exception, to ensure the long-term reliability of the display. Planar does notrecommend operation of the display outside these specifications.
Table 1. DC Input Voltage Requirements .AF 1 N otes
VL +5 V 5% absolute max 7.0 V
VH +12 V 10% absolute max 15 V
IL, max 75 mA @ VL = +5 V

Ptyp, 120 Hz 4.5 W 3840 'E' characters
Pmax, 120 Hz 8.4 W 50/50 2x2 checkerboard
C A U TI O N : Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond whichdamage to the device may occur.

Video logic low voltage 0 0.9 V Video lines have 100 seriesresistors
Video logic input current 10 A
C A U TI O N : There is no overcurrent protection on either the VH or VL inputsto protect against catastrophic faults. Planar recommends the use of a seriesfuse on the 12 volt supply. A general guideline is to rate the fuse at 1.8 to 2times the display maximum current rating.

InterfacingThis dual scan LCD-type video interface provides a low cost, flexible methodfor controlling display brightness and power consumption. Many off-the-shelfchipsets are available for interfacing to flat panel displays. If your applicationdoes not require chip-level integration, there are many vendors that cansupply board-level solutions for serial control, PC104, ISA, and many other
interfaces.
Planar Application Note 116 summarizes some of the interfacing options thathave been used in the past with EL VGA displays.
Video Input SignalsThe end of the top line of a frame is marked by S, scan start up signal as shownin Figure 2. The end of each row of data is marked by CP1 as shown in Figure 2and Figure 3.
Input signals U D 0 through U D 3 contain the video data for the upper screenand signals LD 0 through LD 3 contain the data for the lower screen. Forexample, four pixels (UD3UD0) are sent to row 1 at the same time as fourpixels (LD0LD3) are sent to row 241. This results in eight pixels sent on eachcycle of video clockCP2 . Pixel information is supplied from left to right andfrom top to bottom. Video data for one row is latched on the fall ofCP1 (Figure4).

Self -Test Mo deThe display incorporates a self-test mode composed of a 1x2 checkerboardpattern that inverts every few seconds. The self-test mode is entered byapplying power to the display with the S signal static. The display remains inthis mode until two (2) low-to-high transitions of the S signal are detected. Thedisplay then enters and remains in normal (user video driven) operation aslong as power is applied. To enter self-test mode again, the display must bereset by cycling the VH power input.

D i m m i n gThe scan rate dimming feature allows the brightness of the display to belowered proportionally by reducing the scan rate. Scan rate dimming isperformed within the application by lowering the scan rate of the video inputsignals. Because brightness is proportional to refresh rate, the display can bedimmed by adding pauses between every horizontal period.
The lowest possible frame rate (brightness) is dependent on the perceived flickerof the displayed image, but will most likely be around 60 Hz. For more informationon scan/frame rate dimming please see Planar Application Note 120.
Generat ing GrayscalesSome applications may benefit by using grayscales. The AF1 has a maximumframe rate frequency of 120 Hz. Using the higher frame rate, combined withflat panel controllers designed for this faster display, it is possible to generateusable grays through frame rate control and dithering. Video controllers frommanufacturers such as C&T and Epson use these methods with proprietary
algorithms to generate grayscales.
The response time of ICEBrite displays is much faster than LCDs, therefore notall possible grayscales generated by the video controller are actually usable.Many of the grayscales may flicker or swim. Careful testing is necessary toselect appropriate grayscales for an application, especially when the ICEBritedisplays are driven at less than their maximum frame rate.
For additional information, refer to Planar Application Note 119 or contactPlanar's Application Engineers.
